Quaker Speakers and Programs: C. Wess Daniels

The Sketchnote Workbook, the follow-up to Mike Rohde's popular The Sketchnote Handbook, shows you how to take the basic sketchnoting skills you learned in the Handbook and use them in new and fun ways. You think you have fun taking sketchnotes in meetings? Try using them to record your travels. Or start a food journal. Or break out those visual notetaking skills in your next brainstorming session--whether you're at work or school, or just trying to figure out how to organize the paper that's due next week.

Father Factor explores the intersection between faith and fatherhood, probing the resonance and dissonance created when men examine fatherhood in all its permutations, and how it is informed by and informs their faith. Wess contributed the story “The Dark Side of the Moon and the Suicide of a Father.”

Wess contributed “Holding the Tension in Quaker Leadership.”

Wess contributed “The Boundaries of Convergent Friends.”

How do we continue to value tradition while allowing for innovative and contextual expressions of faith to emerge? How do we foster deeper participation and decentralization of power rather than entrenched institutionalism? Drawing on insights from contemporary philosophy, contextual theology, and participatory culture, C. Wess Daniels calls for a revitalization of faith traditions.
